Quick Settings Audio Panel

Get it on GNOME Extensions

Quick Settings Audio Panel (QSAP) is a gnome 43/44/45/46 extension that creates a new panel for sound related stuff in the quick settings.

Features

Move master volume sliders (speaker / headphone and microphone) to the new panel Always show the microphone volume slider, but the icon in the top don't change behavior ! Move (or duplicate) media controls into this panel
Create an application mixer You can also reorder everything the way you like If you want to, you can even merge the new panel into the main one
The panel can be (almost) wherever you want ! It's more limited on merged panel though

Notice

The Bluetooth menu overflows the other quick settings below it. It's a known issue that is also present in the original panel, and I can't fix it.

Compatibility

As it's heavily inspired by it, this plugin is mostly incompatible with Quick Settings Tweaker (QST). However, as long as you don't enable features that try to do the same thing, it should work.

Known incompatibilities are:

  • Everything in the Input/Output tab of QST won't work if you enable Move master volume sliders. However, no crash should be observed.
  • The notification panel added by QST can't be separated from the quick settings menu.
  • Remove Media Control on Date Menu (but not Remove Notifications On Date Menu) will remove the media controls from the sound panel if you move the media controls using this extension. If you duplicate the media controls with the extension, they won't be affected.
  • In some situations, disabling QSAP can crash QST.

On Gnome Shell 43, compatibility with QST has not been tested.

Manual installation

If you can't install the extension from ego for some reason, you can install it manually. This extension CANNOT be installed on gnome-shell 42 or older.
